ANKLE SOCK BOOTS

I have a slight obsession with dressing in layers, not just any layers though. Comfortable, cozy layers. Yet, layers that can still look dressed up. I found this ginormous monster of a blanket scarf here (for around $8!) It's actually from the men's department. Shh! ;) I love how I am practically drowning in it. So incredibly soft and certainly keeping me warm. The print, spectacular and so season appropriate. 

My second obsession? Ankle boots. And most recently, ankle hugging, ankle boots. This new sock boot trend is a stroll right up my alley. I have rather thin ankles (not complaining) but I often find myself, again swimming, in ankle boots. Just not as comfortably as I do in the scarf. Instead ankle boots that fit me loosely around the ankles feel sloppy and just... not right. (As Goldilocks might say.) So this new sock ankle boot trend, where the ankle part of the boots are soft and stretchy, makes so much sense. Why wasn't this thought of sooner? The boots I am wearing cost a third less than the Steve Madden ones here (which I still love) but let's face it. Not everybody wants to drop over $90 on a pair of boots every season. These were only $30! And more options on a budget here.

After we finished taking these photos we stopped at Lowe's for some plants and gardening supplies. I felt a little bit overdressed but at the same time pleasantly chic. Not gonna lie. ;)
